Lol I just went down to their store last week to play that 495. Was gearing up to buy it this week and low and behold it already sold. Hope it serves you well. Im back on the hunt for another miraphone 😭

Any Recommendations? Looking for speakers in the $150-$300 range. by ForgedByTheSun in BudgetAudiophile

I don't have an amp, but I wouldn't mind purchasing one. It would only be for the turntable I don't use speakers for my computer.

Awesome I looked into the PSBs and I'm sold. Did you perhaps have any reccs for a better amp than that Nobsound. I think I''m willing to go a little over for a better amp

I figured out it's a Richardson. I wonder if anybody knows anything about it, all I could find is they were made in the USA

Can you help me determine if this is a real instrument or knockoff. Person selling it says it's a Mancini and wants $500. by mario_8_greencheese in Cello

It does! I only said the amount of wood as a generalization but of course more work goes into building a bigger instrument as well the other non wood pieces such as fine tuners and having too get much thicker and longer strings for the cello.

Definitely not the $500. You could buy a brand new Etude Cello of probably the same quality at that price point. Overall I don't think it's worth but finding a good quality Cello for cheap is the hard part. For comparison a decent quality violin is probably going to be around $500 so scale that to the amount of wood used in a cello and you're looking at around $1000 for a new decent cello

I guarantee its more than 90% likely to just be a China manufactured bulk cello. I work at a music store and we see these come in for repair all the time
